Voting third party is useless until we get rid of First Past the Post. It sucks, but it’s the truth.

I won’t even click on links to Twitter anymore. I had an account in the beginning but even back then the signal to noise ratio was stupid low. Now It’s all bots and nazis.
Hate to break it to you, but they just moved to the USA and started calling themselves Republicans.
Who also just happens to be a MAGA shithead. Filbert was funny in the beginning, tapered off a bit as he ran thinner on material (as most all comic strips do) but I don’t bother to read it after finding out more about Adams.
DOH. Fixed (I think).
Remember - it’s the Electoral College that actually counts here. This isn’t great news for Harris as the ‘crazy’ faction is big with RFK and they’re more likely to break for Trump.
Current polling still puts DonOLD in the lead for the Electoral College. Odds are NOT fantastic, but are improving. Need to keep the pressure on for sure.
The closest thing to bipartisanship that the Heritage foundation has ever done was when one of their janitors used some blue colored soap in the restroom. It was quickly changed out for some RED soap as soon as someone noticed.
“Putting in laws” requires that Congress (Republicans aren’t about to get on board here) get things passed. Things like ‘expanding the court’ are what really would drive Republican voters to the polls, which is why they haven’t done that. The President has less power than you seem to be giving them credit for. Do you think that Biden should just go slap a pair of cuffs on Trump? Trump would win in a landslide if that happened. The Democrats have certainly been asleep at the wheel for a while, and it’s going to take a long time to get P25 out of the government for sure. There are no quick fixes.
I’m currently in the “blue no matter who” camp. Harris has momentum, but Trump still has an edge in the electoral college and that’s what actually matters.
Controversially, I’ll say that: there are no undecided voters. The person that will win is the one who can actually get their supporters to the polls. Last time around Trump got 74 million people to vote for him and as much as Lemmy/Reddit whatever site you visit seems to think that Harris is winning, it’s all about voter turnout.
“Put up safeguards” isn’t really actionable. What is required is that people VOTE. Democrats have been losing these elections and it’s pretty hard to enact laws when they’re out of power.
“Letting”? How do you stop people from making plans?
They took spinach off of their offerings when there was a listeria (or some such) scare with one of their suppliers. After a few months of going there I asked a ‘manager’ if they would ever get it back and they kind of just shrugged. I walked out a couple times after that and went down the strip-mall to another place a few times, hopefully to prove a point (moved offices so I’ve not really been back to Subway in years now).
I’ve never felt a greater pull to donate to anything.
I went with the BezosBoxHomeAsssssistant. … it sucks too. The challenge to my mind is that it’s hard to make any profit on these things, so it’s hard to spend the dev and server $$$ required to actually make the systems do what they should.
I had two Pebble Steel watches. One just up and died one day and the other slowly failed as the buttons stopped working. I knew it was fixable, but with the sale to Fitbit happening, I Switched to AppleWatch. I do miss some things (battery life!) but all in all I’m not unhappy with my Apple Watch.
Yeah. Don’t get caught out by the fact that 74 million people voted for him last time tho. I’ve always been a fairly 3rd party leaning voter, but no more.
Very true. This overall symptom has accelerated vastly since Regan.
Just another voice in the crowd to say “Same”. Herein lies one of the major differences I see with “R” vs “D”. One side sees learning and admitting mistakes as the ultimate sin, whereas the other generally embraces learning and changing a viewpoint as new information comes to light.
And an undercount of women who are telling their husbands and anyone else who asks that they’ll be voting Trump, but will actually vote for Harris when the time comes. And an undercount of bro-ski-s who claim to support Harris, but secretly hate the fact that they can’t get a ‘female’ that will cater to their every whim and will vote Trump because he’ll increase oppression of women. And an undercount of cat ladies… etc. Most “high quality” models at least attempt to mitigate these over and undercounts, which definitely skews results, and why poll aggregators are important. It helps to eliminate biases in polling types. There’s really only ONE poll that matters. VOTE! BRING YOUR FRIENDS!
